Asia Calling - World Environment Day Special - 3 June 2017

Asia Calling

This week we bring you a World Environment Day Special! We take a look at Thailand’s giant and grotesque looking water monitor. The unique creature is being hit hard by climate change and urbanization. In Pakistan’s Thar desert, innovative new ways to deal with water shortages. And mining companies failing to clean up after themselves in The Philippines. But before that, we start in the hotly contested region of Kashmir, where Indian security forces and Kashmir separatists are bringing new, and more extreme tactics to a conflict that has simmered for 3 decades.
